Lyrics

  1. First you bring me joy
    Then bring me sorrow
    You’re just here today
    And gone tomorrow
    Why can’t I have you for my own
    Why must I always be alone

Chorus
I “wanna” go where you go, do what you do
Love when you love, then I’ll be happy
I wanna sigh when you sigh, cry when you cry
Smile when you smile, then I’ll be happy
If you go north or south, if you go east or west
I’ll follow you sweetheart
And share your little love nest
I “wanna” go where you go, do what you do
Love when you love, then I’ll be happy

Chorus
I “wanna” go where you go (‘Twill be a treat to)
Do what you do (It will be sweet to)
Love when you love, then I’ll be happy
I “wanna” sigh when you sigh (If I could only)
Cry when you cry (You won’t be lonely)
Smile when you smile, then I’ll be happy
If you go north or south (I “wanna” go)
If you go east or west (You oughta know)
I’ll follow you sweetheart
And share your little love nest
I wanna go where you go (Why don’t you let me)
Do what you do (Come on and get me)
And we’ll make love, then I’ll be happy

  1. When you’re in my arms
    My heart is singing
    Seems to me I hear the church bells ringing
    Eyes that are smiling when you’re near
    Cry me to sleep when you’re not here
